The US State Department should revoke his visa immediately and deny him entry. Two days ago mobs of settlers set ablaze and terrorized the Palestinians villages of Huwara, Burin, and Za’atara. Only a week has passed since Israeli occupying forces committed a massacre in Nablus, killing 11 Palestinians and injuring over 100 in broad daylight in a busy market. And today, the Israeli Minister of Finance Bezalel Smotrich said, “The [Palestinian] village of Huwara should be wiped out...I think that the State of Israel needs to do that - not..private individuals.” This is a clear, unabashed call for genocide. In just two weeks, Smotrich is traveling to Washington, DC to speak at the Israel Bonds conference and raise money for his genocidal project. We can not afford to enable someone with this dark agenda, unafraid to state it this plainly. We must show that there are consequences. Act today and pressure the State Department to finally stop legitimizing genocidal rhetoric coming from the Israeli government. That starts by banning Bezalel Smotrich. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/department-of-state-dont-let-smotrich-fundraise-for-genocide
